Crays Hill Primary School
About Crays Hill Primary School
Crays Hill Primary School holds a Good rating from Ofsted, a grade it has maintained across both its most recent inspections, including the full graded inspection in September 2022. The school’s academic story, however, is best told through its Key Stage 2 results for the 2023/24 academic year. Just 10% of pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, a figure that sits well below the Essex local authority average of 62%. In individual subjects, a third of pupils reached the expected level in reading, while only 17% did so in maths and 10% in writing. No pupils achieved the higher standard in any of the three subjects. The school’s average maths scaled score was 95, and its reading average was 101. These outcomes place Crays Hill in the bottom percentile nationally and last within the Basildon local authority ranking.
